Well....I was clipping along perfectly with the 3:20 pace group for 18-19 miles. Then I felt it a bit...but still going nicely.
However at 21 miles....the worst cramp pains I ever had took over for the next three miles. It was not pretty, but I finished my first marathon in 3:40 ish. Oh well a finish is a finish!
Congrats on your first marathon!! That's a great finish for your first time out and not knowing exactly what racing at this distance is like or how that last six miles will feel.
Maybe you finished right near me. I came in 3:40 ish too. |
